Having worked closely with Gov. Paul LePage for many years, and being a constant target of Fake News attacks, LaBrecque has far more name recognition than the typical first-time challenger.

Unlike traditional GOP candidates, LaBrecque is not focusing solely on a campaign about taxes and jobs. Instead, he’s focused on draining the swamp of Augusta and lowering energy bills for his constituents.

The Energy Expert is also waging war against Maine’s lying, dying, Fake News outlets. Should he win election, he says he plans to introduce legislation that would force accountability in journalism.

It’s a winning message, but it will be an uphill battle to upset Gratwick this cycle.

If he’s able to knock-off the swampy Gratwick, LaBrecque will jump to the top of the list ( a VERY short list) of Maine-first Senators.
